If you're a healthcare company, going straight to employers might seem attractive because sales cycles can be shorter and they look for different things from their vendors that might be more product focused but the hardest part of this channel is the number of "sales" you need to do. You need to go through: 1) the broker, who's helping the employer pick their benefits and frequently marketing on behalf of the vendors 2) The third-party administrator that you need to work with to make everything work correctly 3) the employer who needs to be convinced you're right for them and their employees (from a price perspective) 4) The employee themselves, who actually needs to enroll in your service for it to be useful So the problem is now your product needs to be attractive to a whole host of different people (e.g. their are tradeoffs between making something useful to employees and financially attractive to employers) AND usually every intermediary wants a pound of flesh this process happens for every employer, which means your customer acquisition costs skyrocket

I have very mixed feelings today as I share two important pieces of news about women’s health: 1) Massive congrats to the Maven Clinic team and @_KateRyder on the fundraise. You are doing amazing work for women. prnewswire.com/news-releases… 2) Manatt has done important work on the impact of Texas’ abortion laws, finding that 76% of OB-GYNs believe they cannot practice evidence-based medicine and half of residents said they’re planning to leave the state because of these laws. 1 step forward, 2 steps back.

.@mickytripathi1 at #Datavant summit Q: "How would you define interoperability?" M: "I would define interoperability as a compliance requirement" 😂😂😂 (laughing and crying has never been more appropriate)

In a rapidly changing healthcare landscape, Aledade has spent the last decade staying true to our mission: to do what's good for patients, doctors & society. @DBowles1607, chief growth officer, speaks on the impact made and what work we have yet to do. ow.ly/cwTL50SiWzI

1/ @CMSinnovates left a lot of details on payment structure graciously giving me the opportunity to opine on what I think it should be. CAUTION not a report on what CMS did but rather how we could implement the three elements of the Flex Model.

1/ The Change Healthcare cyber attacks have created perilous liquidity challenges for a substantial portion of US medical practices This is not fine We @AledadeACO are going to do whatever we can to help our affected partner practices- announcing $100M in advance payments today

anyone have more details? any strings attached? "We are mobilizing Optum Financial Services to help our Change Healthcare ...support the most impacted providers...temporary funding assistance support program to help with short-term cash flow needs." optum.com/en/business/provid…

The most important value to us is service. The more important metric is not revenue or financing, it’s how many much money are we putting back into community primary care. If we focus on that, then everything else follows, great talking w @HeatherLandi fiercehealthcare.com/provide…

this. this. this. from @Farzad_MD to @HeatherLandi: "The most important value to us is service. The more important metric is not revenue or financing, it’s how much money are we putting back into community primary care. If we focus on that, then everything else follows."

1/ we set out to raise a $100M Series F. It would allow us to control our destiny- a lot of entrepreneurs claim (hope) "last funding round needed" but it really would be for @AledadeACO In case you hadn't noticed tho, it's a pretty bad funding environment resources.aledade.com/press-…
